What I Pack in My Modern Picnic Luncher

So… remember how I said I was going to post about some of my go-to items I like to pack in my Modern Picnic luncher? Well after a rather busy past few months, I finally got around to it!

Bringing my lunch with me everyday definitely helps me cut down on excess spending and it helps me keep up with a healthy balanced diet that I follow at home throughout my work day as well. Another bonus, I get to bring a chic lunch box that also passes for a handbag.

As with my wardrobe, what I bring from season to season changes (I’m more prone to bringing foods that I need to head down to the office kitchen to heat up like soups, pasta/rice dishes etc) versus sandwiches and salads that are more ideal during the spring and summer months.

Here’s a few items that I often bring in my luncher…

Snack

Snack bar

Modern Picnic recently partnered with Larabar and any of their bars make a great mid morning or mid afternoon snack to help you power through. I also love the Apple Strawberry Fruit To-Go Strips from SunRype. They are made with real fruit and can give you a much needed boost mid-afternoon

Fresh Fruit

I love bringing fresh berries to snack on when they are available, seedless mandarins also make a great snack without having to deal with coming off a sugar high.

Beverage 

Izzie (Clementine, Blackberry)

Spindrift (Blackberry or Lime)

Mini Bottle of Water

Main Dish 

Wrap Sandwiches (a nice change from the average PB&J) and still packed with protein

Salmon Salad with Pea Shoots

Chicken Salad and Lettuce Wrap

Rice (VeeTee has the best Thai Jasmine Rice that is read in 2 minutes)

Top your rice with shredded or crumbled goat cheese, spinach, cherry tomatoes (make a delicious topping for the rice and you get some protein and veggies along with it)

Campbell’s Chicken Noddle To-Go (the perfect soup to sip during a ZOOM or while you working on a project over your lunch hour!)
